If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding: Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)

Exalted in mind, just open and clearly aware, the recluse trained in the ways of the sages:One who is such, calmed and ever mindful, He has no sorrows! -- Udana IV, 7

---The trouble is that you think you have time------Worry is the Interest, paid in advance, on a debt you may never owe------It's not what happens to you in life that is important ~ it's what you do with it ---

I just re-read the TOS and I do not find much vagueness in there. Sure, the "All members are responsible for their own Right Speech" and "Do not be disruptive" are open for interpretation, however it is impossible imho to account for every possible situation you might encounter. Even the law is for this reason open for interpretation on many points and we have judges to do exactly that. On this forum the moderators fulfill that role. I think we should trust the moderators to apply those rules wisely and fair just as we trust judges to do the same with the law. Without a trust that it isn't used for censorship a system of moderation would never work.

And if you're not sure about whether you'll break the rules or not: if something you want to do or say feels wrong it usually is.

Hope this helps

Suffering is asking from life what it can never give you.

If you see any unskillful speech (or other action) from me let me know, so I can learn from it.

Just a point of interest: AnonOfIbid who started this thread was a double nicker (not element) who had been banned earlier for disruptive behavior.

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.SN I, 38.

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireas na daoine.People live in one another’s shelter.

What is it with all those disruptive people that seem to creep in here lately?

Must be summer time...

Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing, it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction. What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One. If this single thing is recollected and made much, it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.Anguttara-Nikaya: Ekanipata: Ekadhammapali: PañhamavaggaVSMVMMWBBTBHTWTBTMy Page
